Total Cholesterol Blood Tests

The Cholesterol (Total) test is a blood test that measures the amount of cholesterol in your body. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in your blood and is important for the normal functioning of your body. However, having too much cholesterol can be harmful to your health.

This test is used to assess your risk of developing heart disease. High levels of cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in your arteries, which can restrict blood flow and increase your chances of having a heart attack or stroke. By measuring your total cholesterol levels, this test helps determine if you have a higher risk of developing these conditions.

Your healthcare provider will interpret the results and discuss with you any necessary lifestyle changes or medications that may be needed to manage your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
